BOSTON (Reuters) - S&P Dow Jones Indices has removed electric carmaker Tesla Inc from its widely-followed S&P 500 ESG Index, citing issues including racial discrimination claims against the company and its handling of a government investigation after crashes linked to its autopilot vehicles.

The changes, effective May 2, were described in May 17 blog post sent by a spokesman for the index provider on Wednesday.

ESG = Democrat Party good graces index.

Basically Musk made it public he was voting Republican.

Step #1. of ‘Payback’ to Elon for acting like a hungry Wolf in a crowded Henhouse at Twitter.
Or maybe it’s just a coincidence.

Woke payback for Elon attempting to purchase Twitter and disrupt the woke lock on speech.

Amazing how quickly the elite can move to crush any class traitors like Musk who want to rock the political boat.

Some folks are not happy with Musk purchase of Twitter and now we see them try to tear him down. Does anyone think Musk is type of person to quit?

S&P down over 3% today alone. Hope all these woke companies follow Netflix into the ground. Only when the economic pain gets high enough will companies even begin to consider shutting down the tyranny of the woke minority.

Musk is using Twit like Trump did and there is not a damn thing they can do to ban him.

The real impact, however, is negligible since he plans to take Twitter private after the takeover.
